"Film benefits from the world's greatest motion picture artists using it, but the world's greatest motion picture artists also make better movies because they use film."
Steve Bellamy, in35mm: the format that refused to die, RedShark.

"It can be manipulated in ways that hard drives cannot—every time 35mm film is run through a projector it collects blemishes and tears, a singular history carved into its very cells, never the same film shown twice. That is, for a lack of a better word, beautiful."
Nina Wilder, inAn ode to 35mm film, The Chronicle.

"'There's only one film lab in Los Angeles now and they' actually forgotten how to do certain things," Biller laments down the phoneline. It was very difficult to colour-time the print because they don't have some of their traditional equipment anymore.' So was all that trouble worth it? 'Oh, yes. The colours are richer and deeper than a digital print and the blacks are blacker.'"
Anna Biller, citada por James Croot, inThe Love Witch: The Technicolour dream that almost became a logistical nightmare, Stuff Entertainment.

"Hollywood’s embrace of digital cinema projection (DCP) – studios announced they would stop making prints in 2014 – was never about embracing technological advances in quality, it was about saving money. The amount of time, energy and expense of creating and shipping tens of thousands of 35mm prints around the world was astronomical. And when film projection disappeared, so did the union projectionists trained to insure our viewing experience was maximized."
